Things From the Flood

By Simon Stålenhag

The basis for the new Amazon Prime Original Series!

From the author of the imaginative and “awe-inspiring” (New York Journal of Books) narrative art book The Electric State comes the haunting sequel to his remarkable Tales from the Loop.

Welcome back to the Loop.

In 1954, the Swedish government ordered the construction of the world’s largest particle accelerator in the pastoral countryside of Mälaröarna. The local population called this marvel of technology The Loop and celebrated its completion. But Mälaröarna and the world would never be the same.

Infused with strange machines and unfathomable creatures, Things from the Flood is transcendent look at technology that will stay with you long after you turn the final page.

Reviews for Things From the Flood

[thomaspluck · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Even better than Tales from the Loop.

[aadyer · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

A really beautiful illustrated art book with really really good drawings and paintings and an evocative story line capturing the darkness and frustrations. Of adolescence. It has some lovely pictures of the sky ships and robots. Very very good.

The artwork is amazing, but I couldn't stick with the story.
